Greasy Kid Stuff

Cafeteria workers at the University of Georgia called campus police after a student checked out, but hadn’t paid for everything she had taken. There was the matter of the hash browns, which were hidden in her pants. Carli Shultis, 19, who is on the school’s soccer team, allegedly admitted to police that she had stuffed the order of breakfast potatoes in her pants so she wouldn’t have to pay for them; they cost $1.06. When she saw the jig was up, she told an officer that she tried to put them back. She also said that she did, in fact, have enough money to pay for her entire breakfast. She has been charged with theft, and has been banned from all student food service facilities, including the coffee bar, for a year. (RC/Atlanta Journal-Constitution) ...And they think she’ll be fazed by criminal charges?
